Greatness remembered

As a young boy I had a Great Aunt Delia. She was like an extra grandma. She lived in a town about 30 miles or so away from my hometown and I always looked forward to the times when I would go spend a day or so with her or for her to come visit us. Often on these occasions “we” would bake sugar cookies. These were so good! She died suddenly when I was in the fourth grade and for years I would recall my memories of her, the things we did, and those sugar cookies. A few years back I was reminiscing with one of my sisters on the phone about Aunt Delia and her sugar cookies and I mentioned how much I wish I had the recipe. She replied, Well, I have it.” I had no idea it had been preserved. These cookies are my “favorites” just like my favorite memories of a great aunt.
